Recreation & Entertainment

Imagine yourself in the midst of six million acres of mountains, lakes and forested natural beauty. Our resort is inside Adirondack Park - a protected state preserve.

You can simply relax and refresh in the beauty of our pristine outdoor mountain and lakeside environment.

Or, engage in four complete seasons of outdoor sports - snow and ice, lake watersports and river rafting, fishing, mountain trails for hiking and biking, golf courses and even scenic flights. There is truly something for everyone.
